With Steinberger's departure, the leadership of comiXology is Tom Ashley (head of product, UX, and subscriptions) and Jeff DiBartolomeo (chief technology officer). ![]() ![]() At the time he stated he would remain an advisor to comixology, but would be focused on Amazon's larger digital comics plan under the title 'general manager, digital comics and manga worldwide,' but that seems to be truncated by this swift exit. Steinberger stepped down as comiXology CEO in March 2022, coinciding with broad changes to the digital comics service. While details of Steinberger's first post-Amazon project remain veiled, he calls it 'Stealth Mode' on his LinkedIn page.
